Hey! 🙃
It says it all in the title. It's all happening so fast and I can barely find time to tell you about my experience. 😅
We have completed the sixth week of summer camp and also the last Buckaroo Camp, where younger kids come to the ranch and enjoy various activities. 😉
Here are the links to the videos of the last summer camp weeks. You will be redirected to our YouTube page.

The very last thing I will be taking to the ranch is the upcoming family camp, which starts on Thursday. We already have graduation the Saturday after next! 🥹
I can't believe how time flies. My last 18 days at the ranch have begun. A bit sad to think about it. But before I reveal any more about the rest of my life, I'll recap the last three weeks of summer (hopefully briefly 😉).
The first few pictures were taken this summer with our media team. I somehow never uploaded them. 😅 We tried out paint bombs in the woods. Probably not the best place. 😜 From the pictures you can see how messy it was. 😂
I film almost all activities that take place on the ranch. Among them is sometimes paintball. I don't go to the field without a high visibility vest though! 😂
Every Tuesday there was a sleepover at the fort of the ranch. This had been burned down last year and rebuilt again. 😃
Then I filmed all the horse activities at the ranch. Horseback rides are also part of it. If I have to wait, I spend the time with the animals. 🥰
Then every Thursday there was a campfire where the kids could share what they learned that week or if they chose Jesus. 😃
In the gallery you can also see a picture of the bunkhouse that I had the privilege to support during the fifth week. 🙂
Now I'm going to tell you about a few outings I've had lately. There was the media trip to the Juice Shop. The boss' kids were there, too! 😉
Then I took another trip to Corry on my bike with two students (10 miles/ 16 km). It went up and down. 😄 The reward at the ice cream parlor KC's Ice Cream was then nice! Back a nice staff member picked us up. Because it would have been quite steep then, back to the ranch. 😅
Karrie (a friend outside the ranch) and I went to the Kinzua Skywalk. This is a railroad track in the air that was destroyed in 2001 due to a tornado and is now used as an observation deck. A super photo backdrop! 🤪
By the way, the pizza I ate in Warren is very similar to the one I ate in New York City! 😍
We celebrated graduation with all the staff at Bethany Camp in New York again. They have a lake with slides, inflatables, paddle boats and a zip line. Here are some pictures to see. 👏🏻
I got to attend a real American rodeo for the first time last weekend! How exciting that was! I was a little tense at times because it looks very dangerous. Bull riding is not without it! 😁
Well, now I can check off one more item on my to-do list. ✅
I guess the next blog post is really really soon this time. Because I'm doing a graduation blog post again. There I will then refer to my further trips (before I come back to Germany), but also to what will follow then in Germany and how it goes on with my blog 😉.
When I get back to Germany, I definitely have something fixed. On the one hand, I'm a little sad to have to go, but I think it's time to start something new and open a new chapter. 📖
See you the weekend after next! 🙂
